At what point does thinner and lighter eat in to things like battery life, performance (due to heat) and provide a worse UX? iPad Pro weighs 1 pound. That's heavy?
No, I didn't. I just demonstrated that it is nothing new that devices of wildly varying capability (and target audience) share the same OS. Which is why your complaint about the iPad Pro and iPad mini made zero sense.
People said the same thing when the iPad mini launched.

The US price is excluding tax and the UK price is including tax (VAT) at 20%. £529 + VAT is £635 so while there is a bit of a premium, it's not as high as you might think
I think Apple is positioning the iPad lineup to reflect it's Mac lineup.
iPad mini / Mac mini.
iPad Air / Macbook Air.
iPad Pro / Macbook Pro.
They won't call it 'S' or 'Plus' or 'C' ... They want to differentiate what you can do with their productivity devices vs their handheld devices.
I would like the 2nd gen if it includes force touch and a better charging solution for the pencil. Also I would like to know if its better than Surface pro 4 in terms of drawing with the pencil/stylus. I think iPad Pro is a great canvas, of course iOS doesn't have all the features of Windows 10 which is a touch/tablet friendly, desktop OS, but not touch/tablet designed OS. From my point of view it all comes down to well designed apps, apps designed and coded for a mobile device, apps designed and coded for desktop with sharing capabilities to allow customers moving from one to another anytime during their workflows. These are the apps I would mostly use if I had one: Mail, Safari, Storyist, SketchBook, Graphic, Pages, Keynote, Notes, Remote Desktop, Udemy, Manga Meow, iCircuit and Chromecast. And I would keep a smaller iPad as well because is the tablet that can replace your magazine... in the restroom.

You need to keep your opinions to yourself. They make you look bad.
You don't see Apple making a separate version of OSX for MB, MBA, MBP, iMac, Mac mini, and nMP do you? They all run the exact same OSX. The iPad line is the same concept. You buy the device based on the task you're doing.
A Mac Pro runs the same OS as a Mac mini. That makes sense. But an iPad Pro running the same OS as an iPad mini doesn't. Got it.
iPad FAIL. the market is going to be very small compared to the other iPads.
At first thought, I'm inclined to agree with you, but I'm not noticing this issue on my iPad 4 vs. my iPhone 6s.
I think it's because I hold the iPhone completely different than the iPad.

Ugh, can guarantee most people will not be able to get one at launch because Apple feels this stupid need to push all these products to every country at one time.
Right, because pushing them to only your country would allow everyone to buy one at launch.
Agreed. I don't see myself wanting to use 3D Touch on an iPad, really. On the phone, I trigger it almost exclusively with the thumb of the hand in which I'm holding the phone. On the iPad, no matter what the screen size, this just doesn't work. There's not "muscle memory" because the two devices are used and held in different ways.
I also agree with some of the comments about the pressure sensitivity of the pencil interfering with 3D Touch. At worst, it would trigger 3D Touch interactions while using the pencil... at best, they'd have to come up with something similar to the hand/palm recognition that tells the system to ignore 3D Touch pressure when the pencil is in use. Whereas they could potentially just release an OS update to allow the pressure of the pencil to enable 3D Touch like functionality on the home screen, at least.
I am eagerly anticipating picking two up this week (my wife and I are both upgrading from our iPad Air 1s).
This is where the whole "only rich people buy Apple products" nonsense comes from. I can't afford to replace a half broken toaster oven and a half broken vacuum cleaner. It astounds me that people actually buy the same $500-$1200 items YEARLY. I'm still on an iPhone 4 (iOS 6). It has become maddening because of lousy website code everywhere today, but it has lasted FIVE YEARS!
There is always going to be hype around a Apple Product specially when its a completely new line or form. I think you'll be surprised come Friday.
I'm on record to say this is going to be messy and this tablet will be extremely difficult to get. If any of you guys are serious about owning one, pre order or line up Friday. I don't see this as a item you can just walk into the store during the weekend and decide to pick up because you have a itch to buy it. Least not yet and not this year. With holidays coming, a lot of people are going to want to buy this as a gift.
2.5 million for worldwide launch doesn't sound like a lot to me. Get your popcorn ready.
Isn't this what happen to the iPad Mini though? The problem is simply moving up the chain because the iPad Pro is the flagship now. Boy am I glad I bit the bullet last year and just spent the cash on getting the Air 2 over the Air 1. It's been totally worth it.
Check out ArtRage. Amazing app and currently exports at 2048 x 2048 on the iPad Air 2. With the new Pro, it may meet your needs.
OTOH, if you're happy with your Cintiq, why would you want to make a change?
